Newton North senior Swardic Mayanja had a huge throw on his third attempt, a bomb that sailed 18.13m (59-6.25) and earned him 4th place in the Shot Put at the New Balance Indoor Nationals Boys meet on Saturday.
After two throws, Mayanja was in serious danger of not making the finals at all. His only legal throw up to that point was a toss of 55-6, and that wouldn't be good enough. But he made the next one count, not only to make the finals, but to make All-American.
Newton North's sprint medley relay team also competed on Saturday. The quartet of Ryan Lucken, Nate Menninger, Daniel Swain, and Justin Keefe ran 3:37.36 for 14th overall.

Mayanja's finish makes him an All-American. Give the guy the recognition he deserves! And the four runners were Shawn Seamans, Menninger, Swain and Keefe in the Sprint Relay.
